One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Harrah battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
